They are Pontius Pilates
History is repeating itself.
Pontius Pilate washed his hands.
Matthew 27:24-26 “When Pilate saw that he could not prevail… he took water and washed his hands before the crowd… and delivered Jesus to be crucified.”
Pilate did not kill Jesus himself.
Pilate handed Him over to government soldiers to do it.
Today, the same pattern is seen.
Hon. Makebi Zulu and Hon. Brian Mundubile, and the Zambians who voted for them, have been surrendered.
Not to the people.
But to government soldiers.
The UN has behaved like Pontius Pilate. Hands washed. Eyes closed. Responsibility denied.
The so-called 8 mother body churches have acted like the chief priests. Silent while the innocent are handed over.
This is confusing.
If a citizen is labeled a threat, due process is required.
If a citizen is innocent, protection is required.
Handing people over to soldiers while refusing to stand with them is not justice. It is betrayal.
Matthew 27:26 – _“Having scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.”_
Zambia must decide:
Will this nation follow Pilate and wash its hands?
Or will this nation stand for truth, due process, and the rule of law?
The blood of the innocent cries out.
And history remembers those who washed their hands.
Let justice roll down like waters. Amos 5:24
